I thought I'd post in this part of the forum so hopefully more poeople will read and reply.

To cut the long story short my boyfriend had sickness and diareah bug 10 days ago. The sickness has stopped but he has diareah now and again and says his stomach still doesn't feel right. Not sure whether it was a virus or bacteria as you all know it's hard to tell!

But becuase of my fears of catching it I havent seen him (luckily he hasnt felt well enough to see me anyway, just been resting after work) so what I wanted to know was they say you can stay contagious for up to 2 weeks, but is this after the symptoms stop? So basically if his symptoms stop now then he can be comtagious for another 2 weeks!?

Also people say it's not transmitted in saliva, but why do posts all over the internet say it is? :S

I feel so silly that my feel of being sick has taken over and I don't even want to see my boyfriend and kiss him just in case I catch it.

The reason I posted here is I just want some advice and true facts on viruses/bacterial gastroenteritis.

Many many thanks, all advice/help welcome.

I'm concidering hypnotherapy for my emetophobia! Anyone had it?
